Happy Anniversary

Feel the Love in a country of 26 25 24 Million:

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Shias have gathered in the holy city of Najaf for a mass demonstration calling for US-led troops to leave Iraq.

Up to one million people were expected in Najaf after an appeal by Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr, who branded US forces "your arch enemy" in a statement.


And that is hardly like taking the bus from New York to Washington, D.C.

The Iraqi's sure are happy about the statue of Saddam coming down four years ago...

It's freeance on the march!

Like many people, I am only disappointed -- and I mean that literally -- that Richard Perle can't be there to dedicate "George Bush Square"*.

"And a year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush"
